209/365 - Jim - Tall Flowers

( f/9 18mm 1/320 sec ISO 200 Nikon D300 )

They aren't really very tall, I put my camera as close to the ground as possible to get this photo. It was a guessing game because I could not see where it was focusing. The first shot was without a flash and turned out really dark, so I turned the flash on. I wish I had used a remote flash though so it would look more natural, but I didn't take the time. I have a headache, so this is the best I could do...

187/365 - Jim - Tulip Drip

( f/45 105mm 1/5 sec ISO 200 Nikon D300 )

I noticed yesterday that the rain laid on the tulip leaves really nice. I wanted to get a photo of it, but it was too windy to get a macro shot. Today I cut a leaf off and brought it inside by the back door to make it look like it was outside. So you can see my back yard in the drip.
